Rev. Catherine Cassell Poet Rhyme

A Seedling

On some days I don’t write any,
On others I write plenty.

It depends on my day,
I have to process it and put it away.

This writer needs to write all the time,
I don’t know if it’s a flaw or by design.

I write here and I write there,
When the words come to me, it doesn’t matter where.

I have to write to get them out,
And like a seedling, a poem sprouts.

Jim Slaughter June 26, 2023 at 10:59 AM That's pretty much the process. And sometimes those "sprouts" send out shoots and other poem "seedlings" hatch. Rev. Catherine Cassell June 26, 2023 at 12:57 PM I feel like it is that way for all poets. I am new to writing poetry and I find it does help to pit emotions away.
